    1. Critique Partners Wanted
    2. I typically have no problem coming up with ideas, but figuring how to write the story, and what should happen next is always so hard for some reason. Does anyone have any advice?
    3. Hey y'all! What can I do to make this better? It's my first time trying to write fiction :)

    1. I have had this unconventional body horror idea stuck in my mind for months. I call it the "Human Metronome" I hope somebody can put it to good use. It is supposed to be a critique on artists holding back creativity to appeal to the masses.
